About the Beza Institute

We promote classical Christian education from a distinctly Reformed perspective for the glory of God and the good of His Kingdom.

Our Mission.

We publish materials that promote a markedly Reformed perspective on classical Christian education; we provide resources to equip Reformed classical educators, schools, and families for the work of cultural reformation; and we uphold an uncompromisingly Biblical approach to classical education as the movement continues to grow and expand.

Why “Beza”?

Theodore Beza, successor to John Calvin and first rector of the Academy of Geneva during the Protestant Reformation, was a brilliant teacher, author, pastor, school leader, and lover of the liberal arts.

Our Commitments.

Like Theodore Beza, we believe education must be thoroughly biblical, confessional, and doxological in its approach, even as it makes use of the great resources of Western Civilization. As the classical education movement changes and grows, we are building a community of classical teachers and schools that is:

  • Unashamedly Christian and Thoroughly Biblical

  • Rooted in the Doctrines of the Protestant Reformation

  • Committed to God’s Design for Sexuality and Gender

  • Against Any Form of Darwinism

  • Against Wokeness, Critical Race Theory, and Intersectionality

  • Against Any Worldly Philosophies and Ideologies that Do Not Presuppose God’s Revelation as the Foundation and Source of Truth

Our Doctrine.

We affirm the essential truths of orthodox Christianity, as articulated in the ecumenical councils of Nicea, Constantinople and Chalcedon, and the system of doctrine expressed in the creeds of the Protestant Reformation, including the Belgic Confession, the Heidelberg Catechism, the Second London Confession of 1689, the Thirty-nine Articles of the Church of England and the Westminster Confession of Faith.
